Synopsis

When a failed colony is evacuated, elderly Ofelia refuses to leave, preferring solitude to resettlement. Living peacefully alone, she becomes humanity's accidental first contact when an intelligent alien species emerges near her homestead — and discovers that an old woman with no agenda may be the best ambassador humanity has ever had.
